| [00:20.550] | Father, hear the prayer we offer: |
| [00:25.970] | Nor for ease that prayer shall be, |
| [00:31.400] | But for strength, that we may ever |
| [00:36.450] | Live our lives courageously. |
| [00:41.530] | |
| [00:42.560] | Not forever in green pastures |
| [00:47.710] | Do we ask our way to be, |
| [00:52.940] | But the steep and rugged pathway |
| [00:58.010] | May we tread rejoicingly. |
| [01:04.460] | |
| [01:06.390] | Not forever by still waters |
| [01:11.230] | Would we idly, quiet stay; |
| [01:16.800] | But would smite the living fountains |
| [01:21.780] | From the rocks along our way. |
| [01:26.950] | Be our strength in hours of weakness, |
| [01:33.170] | In our wanderings be our Guide; |
| [01:37.200] | Through endeavor, failure, danger, |
| [01:42.600] | Father, be Thou at our side. |
| [01:52.180] | |
| [02:11.300] | Let our path be bright or dreary, |
| [02:16.320] | Storm or sunshine be our share; |
| [02:21.480] | May our souls in hope unweary |
| [02:26.770] | Make Thy work our ceaseless prayer. |
| [02:32.650] | |
| [03:02.770] | Father, hear the prayer we offer: |
| [03:07.940] | Nor for ease that prayer shall be, |
| [03:13.090] | But for strength, that we may ever |
| [03:18.060] | Live our lives courageously. |
| [03:23.690] | Be our strength in hours of weakness, |
| [03:28.810] | In our wanderings be our Guide; |
| [03:33.890] | Through endeavor, failure, danger, |
| [03:39.210] | Father, be Thou at our side. |
